Cannibalism was the long-standing family tradition for Leatherface and his few remaining relations. Prey was secured, usually in the form of transient elements or the straggler customers that showed up at the family gas station. Once the prey was secured, the festivities began. Only then would Leatherface ditch the butcher’s apron, putting on his Sunday best for the big meal. They gathered at the oblong table, ignoring all side dishes in favor of the main course. They brought Grandpa down stairs, a distinctly ancient carcass fortified by his strict liquid diet. Initially, Sally, one of the victims from the original movie, escaped, but she was completely deranged by then, and all efforts to locate the dissembled cannibal family she described proved to be fruitless.
